The little monster that poked its head out of the alley was wearing a familiar blue shirt, and its hair was tied up in a bun that was not only messy, but also crooked.
But even so, that chubby little face still looks quite cute.
It's just that...the dark and empty eyes lose points.
Those eyes had no pupils, and there was a deep darkness on the eyelids, which was extremely strange when you looked at them.
"Uncle Dai!"
Accompanied by a shout of surprise.
The pair of black eyes also widened slightly, and the corners of the mouth slightly raised, as if they were blooming with joy, but in fact they became more frightening.
Xu Shuo frowned and looked at her: "Who are you?"
The voice fell.
The joy on the little girl's face suddenly faded.
Luo Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while.
The little girl with a stiff expression quickly retracted her head, the two hands that were resting on the edge of the wall also retracted, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness without knowing why.
The two people standing outside watched her appear and disappear without any movement.
At this time, Luo Kai poked Xu Shuo's arm and moved the unfolded system screen to show him.
Abyss level on radar.
It has jumped to level four.
Luo Kai whispered in Xu Shuo's ear: "So the pollution level of the abyss in this place is at least level two. The really scary thing inside is this little monster, and it's still here to find you!"
Xu Shuo responded: "Maybe."
"You really don't know her?"
“I really don’t recognize this ugly person now.”
"Tsk, if I anger someone, I'll rush out and pack you in."
"..."
Luo Kai seemed to be gloating and watching the excitement.
Xu Shuo glanced at him lightly.
The researcher may have been right.
This person's temperament also changed somewhat after he became smaller.
…
Xu Shuo was too lazy to pay attention to this adolescent man. After the two of them stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, they suddenly saw that the darkness in the alley began to fluctuate violently.
Those extremely dark things seemed to be rolling and flowing, and their undulating trajectories were faintly visible, as if a whirlwind was set off by thick clouds, or like a submarine vortex appearing in the deep sea.
As darkness surged, the scene in the alley seemed to become clearer.
Rows of rows of floor-to-ceiling window grilles appear in the darkness.
The light of the searchlight floated faintly on the edge of the alley entrance.
It's like something is drawing out the darkness.
"Huh?"
Luo Kailuo was a little surprised when he saw this situation.
He originally thought that the monster was angry and went in to hold back its ultimate move.
But now it seems not.
After a while.
The darkness lingering in the alley still exists.
But the pair of pale little hands appeared again at the edge of the alley, and then carefully poked out her head, exposing the front half of her body under the strong light of the searchlight.
She blinked her big, watery eyes and said, "Uncle Dai...it's me."
It seems that he is worried that the person opposite him will not recognize him.
After saying this, the little girl stood seriously at the entrance of the alley, put her hands in front of her in a well-behaved manner, and nervously pulled on her short shirt.
Then he said tentatively: "I am Xiaoqing."
I don't know if it was reflected by the searchlight.
Her eyes were shining with a little light and a little more aura.
The sclera of the eyes have turned gray-white. Although the iris and pupils in the middle are still extremely dark, they are at least more pleasing to the eye than before. There is still a trace of water mist in the eye sockets, which makes it look particularly crystal clear.
The little girl blinked.
A sense of innocence and clarity is revealed.
Looking at the cute little girl standing on the edge of the alley.
Luo Kai immediately covered his little heart: "Wow! Such a cute little monster...Child, do you still have the heart to say you don't know me?!"
Xu Shuo ignored him, but raised his hand to his chin, looking thoughtful.
"Xiao Qing..."
"Uh-huh!"
The little girl nodded with bright eyes.
"It's indeed Xiaoqing."
"Uncle Dai!"
After hearing these words of approval, Xiao Qing stood on tiptoes slightly, as if she wanted to run over with excitement, but hesitated and stopped.
Xu Shuo raised the corners of his mouth, squatted down and opened his arms towards her: "Want to come over?"
The voice fell.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. The bright light was far more powerful than what she pretended to be. An unusual emotion emanated from her body.
Then, Xiaoqing suddenly ran out of the alley, and his entire figure was exposed to the light of the searchlight.
The darkness behind her was like a spider web, sticking to her back and stretching out long threads.
But as Xiaoqing quickly ran away from her, the black silk mesh tightly attached to her back stretched and broke, and quickly rebounded into the dark alley.
When the little girl takes the first step.
Luo Kai was already rubbing the ruby in his hand.
But after seeing this scene.
He was stunned for a moment, looking slightly surprised.
next moment.
Xiaoqing had already happily ran into Xu Shuo's arms.
"Uncle Dai!"
She happily raised her hands and hugged the young man's neck tightly, rubbing her head on his shoulders, with a satisfied look on her face.
Feeling the cold and sticky touch in his arms, Xu Shuo paused and put his arms around her.
At this time.
Xiaoqing suddenly took a deep breath.
Then he looked at the young man's neck, which was close at hand.
She swallowed her saliva and said: "Uncle Dai, you smell so good...I, I'm a little hungry, Xiaoqing hasn't eaten for a long time..."
Xu Shuo's eyes flickered and he looked down at her expressionlessly: "So?"
Xiaoqing took another hard breath.
Then she put down one hand and rubbed her belly, and said with a sullen mouth: "Can you give me something to eat..."
Xu Shuo: "..."
Just when he hesitated.
Luo Kai next to him reached out and handed out a piece of chocolate.
"Here, something to eat."
But look at the chocolate in his hand.
Xiaoqing pouted and shook her head: "I don't want your things. Uncle Dai won't let me eat anything!"
Luo Kai paused.
Just as he was about to say something, Xu Shuo took the chocolate in his hand and then handed it to Xiao Qing.
Xu Shuo: "Here, something to eat."
Luo Kai: "..."
Xiaoqing: "..."
Xiaoqing obediently reached out and took it, biting down the package and swallowing it, then she continued to look at Xu Shuo longingly: "I want more."
Xu Shuo looked up at Luo Kai.
Luo Kai suddenly opened the zipper of his backpack with a speechless expression, and poured out five or six pieces of chocolate and a piece of whole wheat bread.
But these still don't seem to be enough.
So Luo Kai walked towards the team leader who was on guard not far away and asked him to prepare several different portions of food.
…
…
Because when Xiaoqing was gobbling it up.
They all stayed in Xu Shuo's arms and refused to leave.
So the two simply sat on the floor in front of the monster and talked about what happened in the alley without hesitation.
"The abyss crack inside was only temporarily sealed by me. Because the script space is under repair, there is no way to completely solve it at this time."
Luo Kai frowned and said: "So, since it has come out now, the abyss darkness spilling inside will probably continue to breed new monsters."
"How large is the scope of the impact?" Xu Shuo asked.
"The visual inspection of the crack is 40 centimeters, and the area affected is more than 3,000 square meters. But there is no need to worry about it for now, because I have cleaned up all the monsters that were previously polluted and bred, except this one."
Luo Kai pointed at the little girl who was eating whole wheat bread in his arms.
Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully: "Then besides her, there are no other high-level monsters here, right?"
Luo Kai spread his hands and said: "There are only those monsters that can breed in the second-level abyss field. Even if there are estimates, they have been swallowed by it. This monster, it said before that it was attracted by something, and crawled through the cracks on its own.
From this world."
"Uh-huh..."
Xiaoqing, who was chewing bread, suddenly made a sound. Because her cheeks were bulging, her voice was unclear.
Xu Shuo looked down at her: "What?"
Xiaoqing quickly swallowed the bread and said: "When I came here, I saw many big monsters in there. They chased me, so I climbed out quickly."
Luo Kai followed her words with a slight expression on his face: "Then they also want to follow you out, but they can't squeeze in because the crack is too small?"
Xiao Qing nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
If she hadn't run so fast.
It might have been eaten.
Luo Kai then continued: "Abyss monsters will essentially devour each other, but they don't differentiate between each other, so their actions follow instinct.
"Even the Abyss Trolls are like this.
"But the evil evil in the abyss has a certain ability to think on its own, and it will seek good luck and avoid evil. If it doesn't want to be swallowed, it will devour other monsters.
"As expected, this guy can probably escape like this."
Wait until he finishes speaking.
Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly widened.
Then he said angrily: "Brother, you are a bad guy! You promised me not to tell Uncle Dai about my eating indiscriminately!"
Luo Kai immediately objected: "I never promised you this."
"You promised! Swallow a thousand needles!"
"If you think about it carefully, I never promised."
"you……"
Xiao Qing thought back angrily.
turn out.
It seems that he did not agree to this matter.
This man just promised her to find Uncle Dai.
Suddenly, Xiao Qing fell silent with a guilty conscience. She took a bite of the bread that she had not finished eating and carefully looked at Xu Shuo's expression.
But Xu Shuo had no expression.
He just thought about it and said: "Xiaoqing, when you came out just now, did you absorb all the darkness inside?"
After hearing this, Xiaoqing tightened her clothes.
Then he said pitifully: "I... I thought you couldn't recognize me... I wasn't like this before, but after coming here I spent a lot of energy and couldn't go back to the way I was before, so I couldn't help but eat some of those black
Huge cake…”
"You also ate a lot of those disgusting monsters."
Luo Kai interrupted her pretending to be pitiful.
So Xiaoqing glared at him fiercely.
The little girl's dark pupils were vaguely moving, as if something was squirming, and a vicious and cold aura was vaguely spreading.
next moment.
Luo Kai pointed at her and shouted: "Look, look, look! This monster finally can't help but change!"
Xiaoqing was shocked and quickly controlled her emotions.
Then she raised her head and looked at Xu Shuo aggrievedly, accusing her with her eyes - this big brother is really too much!
Xu Shuo just pinched her soft cheeks.
Then he changed the topic to ease the atmosphere: "When Xiaoqing came here to find me, how was the situation in the village?"
Xiaoqing tilted her head: "I don't know. I was sleeping, and when I opened my eyes, I was no longer in the village. Then this place smelled delicious."
Speaking of the fragrant smell.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He looked salivating.
"Um……"
Xu Shuo paused, stared into her eyes and asked, "How many of those monsters did Xiaoqing eat along the way?"
Xiao Qing pursed her lips nervously.
"You said, I'm not angry." Xu Shuo said.
"Really?" Xiaoqing looked at him tentatively.
"real."
"I didn't eat much along the way, I just ate whatever I saw... Then a big, big monster appeared. I couldn't eat anymore, so I ran away. I hid in the house after I ran out, and then this big brother came in and attacked me.
I……"
"You lied! You concealed so many processes, and you clearly seduced the little girl from outside!"
Luo Kai interrupted again.
Xiaoqing bit her lip angrily and quickly said, "I just want to ask her to come in and ask a question!"
Luo Kai sneered: "Then I didn't go in and beat you, I beat those monsters!"
"You set me on fire!"
"Who makes you the same as those monsters?"
"Xiao Qing is not a monster!"
"Sorry, those fires only burn monsters."
"I'm not a monster!"
…
An adolescent boy got into a quarrel with a green-faced fang who had an unstable temperament.
Xu Shuo felt a headache and pressed his temples.
After a while.
Xiaoqing, who couldn't win the argument, threw herself into Xu Shuo's arms aggrievedly. She smelled the fragrant smell and suddenly felt a lot calmer.
Xu Shuo touched Xiao Qing's hair and suddenly said: "Can Xiao Qing stay there temporarily?"
Xiao Qing looked up at him in confusion.
A gentle smile appeared on Xu Shuo's face: "Now I can't let Xiao Qing stay by my side, so can Xiao Qing continue to stay there before tomorrow night?"
Xiaoqing was stunned when he heard this.
"Uncle Dai, don't you want me anymore? It's because I ate things you didn't like, so you hate me..."
"I don't mind Xiaoqing eating those things."
He didn't even wait for Xiaoqing to start mutating.
Xu Shuo blocked her thoughts with one sentence.
Xiaoqing was stunned: "Really?"
Xu Shuo looked very determined: "Really, I will definitely come here to pick up Xiaoqing tomorrow night."
…
The reason why the abyssal cracks in the alley did not spread.
It's because Xiaoqing has been devouring darkness.
The reason why more powerful monsters were not bred was because Xiao Qing had been devouring those monsters that had merged in the darkness.
So before the maintenance and upgrade of the script space is completed.
Before the official superiors make the decision to announce it.
Letting that abyss crack continue to exist and letting Xiao Qing continue to stay there is the best choice.
This will not only maintain the existence of the abyss while delaying the spread of pollution, but also allow Xiaoqing to help them deal with the monsters that breed from the darkness. Why not?
So after confirming that Xiaoqing's self-control is pretty good.
Xu Shuo immediately decided to let her stay inside!
Let the monsters of the abyss fight against the abyss.
How wonderful!
…
So after Xiaoqing seemed to have eaten and drank enough.
Finally, she reluctantly left Xu Shuo's arms and entered the alley again, but she still appeared in the alley from time to time looking at the young man eagerly.
After Xiaoqing left.
The expression on Luo Kai's face quickly darkened.
He frowned and said to Xu Shuo: "If you really plan to keep this monster, you are setting up an enemy."
